I was just about to rip out my kitchen cabinets to replace them, when my neighbor suggested replacing the hardware.   I really didn’t think it would make that much of a difference, but it really changed the entire look of my Kitchens Cabinets. 

I had these old brass knobs on there which made the entire room look dated, but when I added some nice satin nickel handles, it brightened everything up.   After a new coat of paint on the walls, the cabinets themselves started to look new.

I am actually glad that my neighbor suggested that, since it saved me thousands of dollars.
